I currently have two phone lines with Vonage--one main voice one and a second line used primarily as a fax. This fax line, because I ported the number as a standalone fax number, is costing me $14.99/month for 500 mins.

I'm wondering if I can change this to a virtual number, so to speak, and using a fax switch device, just have this fax # ring in on my main line and go to the fax machine. I'm looking to do this mainly to cut costs. I don't really want to keep spending $15/month for a fax line that's not used very much, and because its number is on my business cards, I can't eliminate it altogether for quite some time; hence my desire to just use a fax switch machine that will route incoming fax calls to this number to a fax machine.

This way I could at least eliminate the standalone line and perhaps pay $4.99/month for the second number rather than $14.99/month.

Anyone know if Vonage could somehow accommodate this? One option I can't yet consider is to eliminate this second line completely and have people fax my main # and have the fax switch route the calls. That may be something for the future, but not right now.

My fax number when I ported it was a former SBC fax number--treated as a voice line, even though it was used solely for faxing. Vonage told me they could give me a fax number for $4.95/month, but it would have to be an entirely new number. If I wanted to port my old fax number, which I did, they'd have to charge me $14.95/month as a second voice line.

I'd rather now just use my fax # as a "virtual number" and have the faxes routed to my fax machine via the fax switch device.

transfer that number under their 2nd line promotion wherein you get 2 mos free of service and no commitmment. at first the number would be a voiceline and if its already in vonage's database have it converted into a dedicated faxline for $9.99 every month.
